Moving to Chicago

As you all know (atleast I hope you know). So as we're packing and going though our things we've realized the need to "get rid" of a few things....so thought I'd ask if anyone would want to buy, or is interested in buying. Our TV for sure, it's up for grabs at $50.





Our fireplace tools, they're $30 (or highest bid) if anyone wants them.





And the last thing is my guitar....I'm not sure yet if I really want to sell it, but it would be easier to part with it if I sell it to a family member, if you're interested let me know.

And That's That...

Another shot of the boats...before the sky turned pink.

Some More Moments from the Weekend

Here we are eating at the restaurant on Saturday night.











I didn't know that Tim was a smoker! I guess the camera caught him in the act!












The ladies











Those nice guys














One of the beautiful scenes we saw.

Looking at these pictures makes me wish we could go back...I guess we will hopefully get to do it again next year! I think I have one more post after this one and then I will be done uploading pictures!!

The Winner of the "Nice Calves" Contest!

Congratulations Chad.

Who's Calves are Who's???

Okay, this came from Jami and I getting carried away by a joke about Chad having nice calves. So, we decided if people (especially the wives) would be able to pick out their husband's legs. I couldn't fit all the legs on here...so to make it easier, I left out the most obvious...Chad's who "has always had nice legs" (to quote his bro, Clint). So, ladies, can you guess which legs belong to your hubby?

It Was the Lord's Will...

To determine which couple would sleep where, we ended up drawing the name of each couple and placing the folded paper on a bed. We all went as a group from room to room, ceremoniously reaching into the pot and "sprinkling" the paper onto each bed. When all the names had been "sprinkled", Chad yelled, "Go!" and we all ran to a room to find out who got which room. Amazingly, we all went to the room that had our names on the bed...we were sure it was the Lord's will. :) I think these pictures of Chad are so hillarious because they capture how giddy he and all of us were at this point!

There are more pictures to follow!

Labor Day Week-end!

Hi, Everybody,

I'm so glad all of you who could go had such a great time in Michigan. I hope you are all planning to be with the rest of us over Labor Day Week-End. Here is the web site for Grand Beach Inn: www.grandbeachinn.net. We have the whole inn reserved for 3 nights (Fri, Sat, Sun. nights). There should be plenty of room for all. R.S.V.P. regrets only to us. If you have any questions let us know. Please pass this on to anyone who doesn't read the blog.

Love A. Bonnie

Abbi's 2 year Pic's

Here's some of Abbi's 2 year pictures! I have plenty of wallets, so if anyone wants me to mail them one let me know! (I just had to throw the one in of Kelsey & Josiah - they were a little jealous that I was taking a bunch of pictures of Abbi & not them) :)

We had a great time this weekend! Missed you, Aaron & Bekah, Klint & Sarah, Leah, Clark & Seth!! I'll have to post pic's later-we left our camera at M&D Kaeb's.

I also wanted to let you all know there is going to be a benefit for my Dad on Saturday, June 23rd. I believe it's from 11-7. (here in Roanoke-at the legion, i think) There will also be a silent auction. Just wanted you all to know! Thanks...love you all!

Pics from India

While it's wonderful to be home, we really did have a great time in India. The Taj Mahal was amazing, well deserving of being a Wonder of the World!


As you can see from these pictures, Aaron and I became fast friends of the kids. Cameron and Aaron were constantly telling jokes back and forth, Cosette and I appropriately laughed, well Cosie actually more appropriately would say "I don't get it!" And then there was Conner, always trying to come up with jokes (he'd make most of them up). His one successful and often said joke was...."Why does Santa have a garden? Cuz he likes to 'Ho, Ho, Ho'" Ha ha...guess you had to be there and hear his little voice saying it.

We love these kids and will miss them immensely. Hope you're all doing well and we'll hopefully see you soon.

Some Pics!

Hi Everyone,

I am FINALLY posting. The first pic is from the FAB 5 weekend we had in Bloomington a few weeks ago. We all stayed in Leslies apartment. It was alot of fun! In the picture, we are looking at old FAB5 pics from when we were babies to now. It was so funny! We laughed so hard because of the things we used to do and wear!

Dad, MOm, Klint & I just got back from MX visting Seth. The rest of the pictures are from our weekend. It was alot of fun. Its always good to be reminded of the constant sacrifices Seth makes. Please pray for him as he is pretty overwhelmed. He is really doing a great job though and I think he did an awesome job translating my dad's sermon on Sunday. (I even video taped 4 mins. of it (o:!!)

We are so sad to miss this weekend and feel terrible skipping out. We hope you all have a great time...post some pictures. Love you all!! Sarah
